Its about time.
The a3 is available in tdi but only with fwdSweet, I personally prefer the A3 TDI tho, specially when you consider itll be smaller and lighter with the same diesel engine.

Donc ce dash est légal, mais si je met de la musique dans ce char la avec mon cell c'est pas légal? :dunno: A part la a4 et a3 TDI, je me suis fait dépasser par une A7 TDI l'hivers passé, je savais pas que c'était possible!
That's quite a few ponies from such a low displacement diesel. A decade ago a similarly sized engine for north american consumption would barely get you north of 100 (1.9 VW TDI)
It's Impressive how far mainsteam diesels have come in such a short period of time in both power output and refinement while hamstrung with strict emission regulations.
I can't believe Audi's marketing department couldn't sway engineering into rounding up the numbers ever so slightly upwards.
Seeing as the germans are usually conservation with their ratings, 200hp/300tq is obviously within reach with nothing but software tweaks. I guess this way they can bump it up a notch for the mid-cycle refresh and advertise increased power with 0 R&D costs.
Considering the size to power ratio, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't that much more to get out of it. I can't imagine 250/375 out of a 2.0 diesel.
Mercedes is already doing 200hp/369ft-lb out of a 2.1L turbo diesel...it came out in late 2013 in the GLK. And yes, it's AWD (only)...!
To me, Audi is just "going with the flow"...!
It this mechanic is coming in the A4, it "HAS" to be Quattro.
I had a GLK 250 Diesel and LOVED it!
